Steve Dodson

I grew up in Oklahoma and have lived in Wyoming, Texas, and Georgia before moving to Iowa where I now live. I have hunted with everything between a BB gun and a .454 Casull Pistol, .50 cal muzzleloader, .375 H&H magnum rifle, traditional archery, compound bows and now a crossbow. I love to hunt and target shoot. I currently hunt about 60 days a year, mostly for whitetails with archery gear. Most of that is our local city hunt for does. Would love to go back elk hunting since I haven't in over 25 years! My first trip to Africa (bucket list item for over 50 years) happened in 2013 with my youngest son. We had a blast and cannot wait to go back!

After a long day in a whitetail stand and just when you think nothing is going to show up, wait until it is past legal shooting light before climbing down...been busted more than once and won't let that happen any more.
